Wild Critters in the City



It has been so extremely dry since mid-March that wildlife from the Catalinas are moving down into parts of the city of Tucson in search of easy prey and water. This morning when I was returning from my walk, I observed a large bobcat prowling through the front yards on our circle. He/she wasn't the slightest bit concerned that I was standing only 30 feet or so away watching. There was a report a couple of days agao of a black bear over in the east part of town.
